CPU: IBM PowerPC 7xx-based tri-core processor "Espresso" clocked at 1.24 GHz before the 3.0.0 update, 3.24 GHz after the 3.0.0 update. and GPU: AMD Radeon High Definition processor codenamed "Latte" with an eDRAM cache built onto the die clocked at 550 MHz before the 3.0.0 update, 800 MHz after the 3.0.0 update. I DO NOT DOUBT THERE COULD IN EFFECT INCREASE. THE CLOCK RATE, BUT I DOUBT THIS VERY MUCH OF AN added INCREASE, of BOTH THE CPU AND THE GPU clock rate increase by that much, As the system would also need heat dissipation to Handle such an increase in clock rate which: AS AN EXAMPLE In the case of the Wii U, the heat sink is bigger than that of the Wii. Thanks to some clever engineering with the MCM the heat generated is actually less than what it might otherwise have been, but it is still three times more than the output of the Wii. BUT I DOUBT THEY COULD CLOCK RATE IT THAT CHIP THAT FAR WITH THE Heat sink that is in the current build:
as you can see . there is no heat pipes for passive heat dissipation so i doubt very much the clock rate could be increased to that high for extended times with the build that is there. |
I made that quote before the link was fixed and saw the suggested speed increase. I was expecting only a few hundred MHZ.
